Shivaji Maharaj , world renowned leader displayed great leadership qualities in the management of his vast empire. His Management & leadership skills which date back to more than 384 years are still considered among the most valuable case studies in the management industry. On this Shivjayanti that marks the birthday of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, let us take alook at some of the lessons that leaders can learn.

1. Democratic

Shivaji believed in the democratic pattern of administration when the term “democratic” was 100 years ahead of his times. His policies were clearly promoting the welfare of people in the midst of the feudal system.

2. Ahead of Thinking

Shivaji Maharaj was the king who always thought ahead of the time. While making any plan or decision he thinks about the impact of that decision in the future. And probably most of the time he was having the solution for upcoming problems so he is known as the ideal person for his ahead time thinking.

LEADERSHIP TRAITS

1. Fair Administrator:

Shivaji established a fair administration of income tax and employed civilians to collect the taxes. He also established the system of affordable loans for farmers in need. Shivajipromoted commerce by providing businessmen with choice locations at discount prices as well as tax concessions . Shivaji was an efficient ruler and administrator and ruled by a just and firm hand. His government had concepts that we know by now like the Cabinet known as Ashtapradhan Mandal, foreign affairs known as Dabir and also an internal intelligence wing. He was ruthless with those officers who i n d u l g e d i n c o r r u p t i o n a n d o p p r e s s i o n .

2. Efficient Organisar:

In order to truly create an engaged workforce and a passionate set of employees, it is crucial for leaders to inspire and lead by example. Shivaji Maharaj was a leader who was able to instil the love for freedom and motherland among all the members of his army. There was such a high level of commitment that the “Mavalas” i.e. the members of his army were ready to die for the cause. He was able to win over the hearts of his people with his humanity. Moreover, he motivated everyone to work for a specific cause which enabled his troops to remain focused and continue to achieve Swarajya or self-rule. He practiced what he preached and even entered the battlefield himself on several occasions. When your employees see leaders taking up the tasks that they are assigned to,

it instils a level of confidence in them as well.

3. Efficient Planner:

Shivaji never used to initiate any war or attack without doing flawless planning. His intelligence department was very active and they used to give necessary inputs depending on which Shivaji used to plan. Attack on Surat, Post Afzal khan conquest, escape from Agra are the biggest examples of his flawless planning. A fair and just leader, he had the foresight of chalking out a roadmap for success and continue on the path without quitting. Today's leaders have lots of data and predictive analytics at their disposal. They can make use of these tools and create a breaking path for their respective organizations.

4. Great Warrior:

He pioneered Ganimi Kava or guerrilla tactics, which leveraged strategic factors like demographics speed, surprise and focused attack to defeat his enemies. In comparison to the great Mughal Empire, Shivaji had a smaller army and thereby was obliged to wage guerilla warfare to help overcome this great imbalance. He developed his army in various departments including standing army, Cavalry or horsemen, war elephants and navy. Discipline was the major fundamental principle followed by his army. Shivaji was the first Indian king to cultivate navy in addition to acquiring

land. He had 300 shipyards, hundreds of frigates and many sea forts. He controlled over 300 miles of coastline." He is known as 'Father of the Indian Navy.

5. A Strategic Visionary:

Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj built an empire with great skills of pre-planned strategy. His aim was the establishment of SWARAJYA. He was aware of the importance of Navy, so he built a strong defence system in the coastal area. (British, Portuguese and others failed to expand their base in his rule. Later the Maratha rulers neglected the power of navy, loosing against the foreign powers. He made a transfer policy to regularly transfer the administrators under his rule to avoid misdeeds, corruption and maladministration.

6. A Kind-hearted king:

Shivaji Maharaj required people of all castes and communities in his administration. He wanted to create a casteless society, discrimination against lower castes was considerably decreased under his rule. He imposed fair tax on people and had levied no tax on agriculture at that of drought and other natural calamities. He ordered not to touch the agricultural land of the enemies even at the time of war. Severe punishment was considered for rape or molestation under his rule.

7. Being open to learning:

Keeping an open mind for new warfare techniques was Shivaji's specialty. He studied cannons and rifles to ensure that his soldiers were also equipped with the right weapons. Shivaji surrounded himself with experts in various fields from Samarth Ramdas who was his Guru in Warcraft to his mother Jijabai who had the futuristic outlook towards the impending dangers of war and Dadaji Kondev who was his coach who helped him in his battle decisions.

8. Having a futuristic mindset:

Shivaji had the foresight of a free and united India many years prior to the Independence wave that swept up the nation. He was one of the few leaders who established Swarajya in his territory and was able to sow the seeds of freedom in Maharashtra.

These qualities of a historic leader can help managers of today turn into inspiring leaders. Emulating these qualities and implementing them into the daily corporate scenario can not only be beneficial for personal leadership goals but also take the organization to a different level of success.

Nari Shakti at R-Day parade: Army Captain Tania Shergill lead all-men contingent

Recently, Captain S h e rg i l l c r e a t e d his tory af ter she b e c a m e t h e fi r s t w o m a n P a r a d e Adjutant to lead all-men contingents at t h e A r m y D a y ceremony.

C a p t a i n T a n i a Shergill of Corps of Signals also led an all-men contingent at t h e c e r e m o n i a l parade of the 71st Republic Day (26 January) at Delhi's Rajpath. This became the second time in a row when a woman officer led the contingent of the corps. The fourth generation officer in her family said that her interest for the Army had emerged at a very young age.

Shergill, who holds a B.Tech in electronics and telecommunications from Nagpur University and was commissioned in the Army in 2017 at OTA in Chennai Shergill is “currently posted at 1-Signal Training Centre in Jabalpur in Madhya Pradesh. While speaking about her journey, she said, "I had applied while I was in the final year of my engineering course and later got selected. After my training at OTA. I got commissioned into the Corps of Signals in 2017. When the selection was on for the Parade Adjutant, I knew that if I would get selected, I would be the first woman to do that job in the parade's history."

Further talking about the family legacy, she had said, "Ever since I was a little girl, I would see my father getting ready and wear the uniform. In the Army, you learn that if you have to be a good Army officer, you have to be the best.”

Born in Hoshiarpur, Captain Shergill, with her family has lived in Mumbai for the most part. However, after her parent's retirement, the family moved to Garhdiwala, a small town in Hoshiarpur district of Punjab around nine years ago. On her participation in the parade, she also told news agency PTI, "It was a feeling of great pride, a sense of accomplishment and worthiness, and pure blessing.”

When asked if she could be a role model to women officers across forces, Capt Shergill said: "There are many women who are doing greater things than I am doing. There are many women who are an inspiration to me also."

"So, in that scenario, if there is even one little girl who says that she is inspired by me, it means a lot.".

When asked about women's representation in the Indian Army, Captain Shergill believed entry into the armed forces could be on the basis of one's gender, religion, caste or where she is coming from. “It is on the basis of merit. If you are deserving, you are worthy, then you go ahead,” she stated.

Last year on Republic Day, Bhavana Kasturi, then a lieutenant, had became the first woman officer who led an all-male Army Service Corps (ASC) contingent during the parade ceremonies.
